Hello! We are pleased to announce the availability of GnuPG 1.9.19 - the branch of GnuPG featuring the S/MIME protocol. You should consider using GnuPG 1.9 if you want to use the GPG-AGENT or GPGSM. The GPG-AGENT is also helpful when using the stable GPG version 1.4 or if you want to check out its ssh-agent replacement feature. GnuPG 1.9 is the current development version of GnuPG. Despite of that, most parts (in particular GPG-AGENT and GPGSM) are considered ready for production use. Please keep on using GnuPG 1.4.x for OpenPGP; 1.9 and 1.4 may - and actually should - be installed simultaneously. This is basically a bug fix release with one new feature. * The Belgian eID card is now supported for signatures and ssh. Other pkcs#15 cards should work as well. * Fixed bug in --export-secret-key-p12 so that certificates are again included. You may download it from one of the mirrors as listed at http://www.gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html or direct from the master server ftp://ftp.gnupg.org: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.9.19.tar.bz2 (1719k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.9.19.tar.bz2.sig or as a patch against the previous release: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.9.18-1.9.19.diff.bz2 (22k) SHA-1 checksums for the above files are: aa37fbf9f25df52fcd1a957404e78efdf9c576cc gnupg-1.9.19.tar.bz2 2d0dbd0ca60ebc79fb49d99e47222c55784bb9b8 gnupg-1.9.18-1.9.19.diff.bz2 For help on installing or running GnuPG 1.9 you should send mail to the gnupg-users mailing list or to one of the country specific lists. See http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html . Improving GnuPG is costly, but you can help! We are looking for organizations that find GnuPG useful and wish to contribute back. You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or by donating money. Commercial support contracts for GnuPG are available, and they help finance continued maintenance. g10 Code GmbH, a Duesseldorf based company owned and headed by gpg's principal author, is currently funding GnuPG development. We are always looking for interesting development projects.
